Can't set file encoding in options about form-data HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey, can you show me code examples you're trying to run? Thank you.

from form-data.

Of course I can.

So, I am using MeteorJS and I am using JavaScript FileReader API to read the file at the client side and then send it to the server via websockets.

My client side:

fileInput = $form.find('input[type=file]')[0]
if fileInput.files.length > 0
    file = fileInput.files[0]

fileReader = new FileReader
fileReader.onload = (e) ->
    formData.curriculum = 
        fileInfo: file
        fileData: e.srcElement.result

    Meteor.call 'workWithUs', formData, (err) ->
        #...
fileReader.readAsBinaryString file

At my server side I am trying to get this data and send to another server, file server (nodejs too).
I am using module request to send this request:

options =
    url: "http://url.to.upload"
    headers:
        'Cookie': '...'
        'X-File-Name': formData.curriculum.fileInfo.name

req = request.post options, (err, httpResponse, body) ->
    console.log arguments
    return callback err

form = req.form()

form.append 'file', formData.curriculum.fileData,
    filename: formData.curriculum.fileInfo.name
    contentType: formData.curriculum.fileInfo.type
    knownLength: formData.curriculum.fileInfo.size

But my file server does not know how to handle this file data because there are no information about file data encoding and I can't set this header easily without editing your code.

Thanks.

@rodrigok what header are you trying to set and what would be your expected (example) output formdata string?
